[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Isabel Coixett's It snows in Benidorm earlier with Timothy Spall.Quirky.

 

[Floval Flyer]

Watched BlackKklansman on Netflix the other night. Another very impressive film from Spike Lee.

8/10

Jo Jo Rabbit

Super film, very different perspective on WWII - funny and sad at the same time.

8/10 ??

 

[Floval Flyer]

Also re-watched (for around the 30th time) Mr Jolly Lives Next Door last week.

Ade Edmondson & Rik Mayal at their best. Along with Fistful of Travellers Cheques; my favourite Comic Strip Presents... films.

If you’ve not seen it and fancy a belly laugh it’s here (also stars Peter Cook and Nicolas Parsons!)

 

[Tommy2holes]

Watched wonder women 1984.

Not a patch on the first and was over clichéd over CGI'd garbage. 3 out of 10.

George Clooney in midnight sky (Netflix) was a decent film. 7 out 10.

 

[KevinJH]

Watched Dunkirk on the Beeb last night - didn't think it all that and not, imo, as well done as the 1958 version. And the flippin' soundtrack 4/10

Now, if they made a film about the character played by Mark Rylance (Dawson in the film) - allegedly based on Charles Lightoller - that'd make for interesting viewing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Lightoller

I concur, very over rated, only the spitfire shots were wonderful, the sound of the Merlin.

It’s weird, had read how bad it was and I watched it this afternoon, it was actually far better than I expected - maybe it’s all about expectations.

ps - thanks for the link- very interesting

And now, ****ed from Norwich...

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

The Father with Antony Hopkins.A Hollywood take on dementia, which will probably get AH an Oscar nomination next year.The Ending was frankly maudlinTrite compared to Jean Louis Tringant in L'Amour a few years back.

I'm waiting for Four Men In A Car to be shown again (hopefully on London Live)

 

[OldBlueLady]

Watched Goodbye Mr Chips earlier, the most recent version, with Martin Clunes. Fantastic.

I think most episodes are available on the Ch4 app. Also I bought the complete box set a few years ago. Still come up on eBay.

DVD Box Set The Comic Strip Presents Enjoy Complete Collection | eBay

Sorry but I cannot send to the Channel Islands, Southern Ireland or BFPO numbers. I only send parcels to the UK. The bottom of the box is tatty.

Siege of jadotville

I like true stories and I like war films and I like learning about stuff I knew nothing about so this ticked all three boxes.

it made me go and do some minor research afterwards and it appears to be fairly accurate

sorry, should have added I really enjoyed it

7.5 /10

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw 23 Walks yesterday with Alison Steadman & Dave Johns (of I ,Daniel Blake fame).Moving.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Wim Wenders' The American Friend with Dennis Hopper and Bruno Gantz again earlier.Interesting but very different from Patricia Highsmith's Ripley's Game.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saqw Joan Littlewood's Sparrows Can't Sing with James Booth and Barbara Windor yesterday.A bit dated perhaps but still a wonderful fim.Extras on the DVD are great too.

(S'funny, had the nagging feeling throughout that I'd seen it before but I'm pretty sure I hadn't).

 

[kaymac]

Captain Marvel - plain awful.

 

[RHB]

The dig - Netflix. Dramatised telling of the discovery of the Anglo Saxon treasure hoard at Sutton Hoo. Stars Ralph Finnes, Carey Mulligan and Lily James. Really good watch 8/10.

We watched it last night too. Really enjoyed it. We also visited Sutton Hoo a few years ago, fascinating place.
